If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Kui Buri. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
